Chapter 385 Hestia's new car is on the road, please take care of it (4.1k)

"This is……"

"The spell of Kronos."

Prometheus put down the clothes that were lifted up on his chest and explained with a faint smile.

"He needed my wisdom, but didn't trust my loyalty, so he took necessary measures."

"And you now?"

Loen's heart sank, and he couldn't help but look worriedly at the fire thief whose life was in the hands of Kronos.

Leaving the giants' lair and coming to the God of War Mountain to have secret talks with them cannot be considered "loyalty".

If Kronos had found out, Prometheus' fate would have been unimaginable.

"Don't worry, the [Divine Spell] is currently in a dormant stage. As long as I am careful, there will be no danger for the time being."

Prometheus explained calmly, then changed the subject and looked at Loen in front of him with a smile.

"Of course, I have you to thank for this. If you hadn't shattered Kronos's Crown in Thessaly, forcing him to return to the Ziggurat to recuperate, I wouldn't have dared to act rashly even if I had received the message from Hestia, let alone have the chance to come out from underground."

Upon hearing this, Loen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he and Athena went forward to check the spell, trying to break the shackles on Prometheus.

However, the fire thief waved his hand and politely declined the two's kindness.

"I know my own situation well. This spell is easy to break, but once it is triggered, it will immediately alert Kronos and make His Majesty the God King suspicious."

"Why bother? Why don't you just come to the God of War Mountain?"

Hestia scratched her head and asked subconsciously.

"But I can play a greater role if I stay underground." Prometheus replied in a deep voice with a distant look.

Seeing that Prometheus had made up his mind, everyone had no choice but to give up.

In order to break the dull atmosphere, Lorne changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, how is Kronos now?"

"Although the injury was serious, it did not affect the essence of the disease."

Prometheus sighed and answered truthfully.

"Because as long as the [Throne] is still there, he can use his immortal power to repair his body, wear the crown and return, and once again start this destined battle between giants!"

"So, the key to victory or defeat lies in the Titan Temple?"

Hearing this, Prometheus looked at the four gods in front of the fire with some surprise, who looked as usual, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that you have already guessed the answer."

Athena nodded and asked bluntly.

"How long will Kronos sleep?"

"About seven days."

Hera's eyes flashed with sharpness: "Then can we raid the Titan Temple while he is recuperating?"

"I'm afraid that won't work..." Prometheus shook his head and explained in a deep voice, "On the one hand, there are a large number of giants guarding the Titan Temple. If we send too few people, it will be useless. If we send too many people, it will be almost impossible to sneak in silently, and it will only alert the enemy. On the other hand, Kronos is just sleeping, but he is not completely unaware of the outside world. Once he senses danger, he will definitely choose to revive directly. At that time, with the protection of the temple, you may not be able to defeat him!

Prometheus paused, pointed at the ground beneath his feet, and reminded, "Also, because of the protection of the earth, the location of the Titan Temple is good. The structure of the underground world is not static. Only when Kronos and the Titan gods come to the surface and fight with all their strength, the temple will anchor itself and use this as a foundation to provide strong support to the Titan Lords. The defensive barrier around the temple will also be opened, and you will have a chance at that time!"

Luo En narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn.

"So, there is only one chance? It would be best if we could do it during the Third Giant War?"

“That’s right!”

"But if Kronos and Typhon come back and attack the coastal wall and Thessaly, we will definitely be held back. By then, even if we know that the Titan Temple is their Achilles' heel, we will probably be unable to spare any effort. What can we do?"

Hera frowned and voiced her doubts.

Prometheus shook his head slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

"Madam, this war is not only about the gods, but also about..."

“Human!”

Athena suddenly spoke, her eyes sparkling.

"They?" Hera was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly felt it was ridiculous. "You mean? Let these humans fight for the gods?"

A white, slender hand gently patted Hera's shoulder, calming the queen's somewhat agitated emotions, and a warm and long voice followed.

"Do you remember the prophecy about the [War of the Giants]?"

Hera was slightly stunned, looking at the smiling little lover in front of her, and long-lost memories were evoked.

It seemed that the prophecy of the war between the giants was the beginning of their ill-fated relationship.

——The gods want to win the battle against the giants and need the help of a human hero!

For this reason, Zeus once again went down to the mortal world to sow seeds, and had a fierce fight with her who came to hold him accountable. He even went so far as to severely injure his legitimate wife in order to protect his illegitimate son, who was a matter of fate.

So, in despair, she met a little bastard by the river. While she was still chasing the illegitimate child, she was taken advantage of by that little bastard, and thus she fell into depravity both physically and mentally, and eventually became what she is now.

What's even more ironic is that Zeus was determined to protect his son of destiny, even if it meant destroying his family and betraying his wife. Not only did he not use him, but he also stood on the side of humans and became an obstacle to his plan to drive the tiger to devour the wolf.

In fact, the boy's admiration and trust for her, the [Mother Goddess], exceeded that for the [Father God].

Hera seemed to understand something vaguely. A smile appeared on the corner of her lips and she spoke slowly.

"Hercules? Are you planning to let him do this?"

Lorne nodded and spoke frankly.

"Since this is his destiny, let him bear it himself."

Athena thought for a moment and added.

"However, too many ripples have already occurred in the river of fate, and the future is no longer certain. To be on the safe side, we cannot place all our hopes on one person. It is best to organize an elite force of human heroes and go deep underground with him to find a way to destroy the Titan Temple!"

Hestia raised her hand and questioned.

"But how are they going to find the target? Weren't they ambushed the last time they went underground? They were almost wiped out!"

"So this time, I will lead the way for them..."

Prometheus raised a burning fennel branch in his hand, smiled and spoke leisurely.

At this moment, the gods in front of the fire suddenly understood why Prometheus was willing to accept the torture of Kronos' curse and stay in the camp of the giants.

Loen looked at the torch-like light in the pair of deep pupils and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, during this period, we will do everything we can to hold back Kronos and the nine Titan gods so that they can't come back to help!"

"Then leave everything underground to me!"

Prometheus nodded in agreement, then couldn't help smacking his lips and pointed at the empty wine jug on the ground and asked.

"Any more wine?"

"Yes, enough!"

Loen smiled, immediately opened the magic array diagram, and took out dozens of jars of fairy wine.

When Prometheus saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't wait to pick up a pot of wine and started to drink it.

Although he had long since escaped from the divine punishment in the Caucasus Mountains, the giants who rescued him had very poor living standards. The water they usually drank was either underground sewage or the blood of their prey. They ate both raw and cold food, and sometimes even skipped the cooking process.

In order to fit in, Prometheus had to endure a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

It's a rare opportunity to return to the civilized world tonight, so of course I have to enjoy it.

As if wanting to entertain the fire thief wholeheartedly, Lorne took out a large golden cup inlaid with gems, poured the wine into it himself, and handed it to Prometheus.

"The mouth of the pot is too small, it's not satisfying enough. Come, try this!"

Prometheus took the golden cup and drank the wine in it. He felt as if all the pores in his body were opened to welcome the cool breeze coming from all directions in the middle of the night.

"Good wine!" He couldn't help but let out a hearty exclamation of praise, and a slightly drunken blush appeared on his pale face.

But soon, the fire thief mobilized his divine power to dispel the feeling of being tipsy in his body. He stretched his body, stood up from in front of the fire, and said goodbye to everyone solemnly.

"Okay, it's getting late. In order to avoid the suspicion of His Majesty the Divine King, I should go back."

"Don't you have a few pots?"

Loen pointed to the large amount of wine still left on the ground and looked at Prometheus reluctantly.

Although they had only been together for a few hours, he had already been won over by the personal charm of the fire thief, and couldn't help feeling a sense of mutual admiration.

"It's better not to touch something whose origin you can't explain." Prometheus declined reluctantly, then licked it and looked at the god of wine in front of him with a smile, "Anyway, after you win this battle, you can't do without my wine."

"That's for sure!" Luo En nodded seriously and promised solemnly, "Next time, let's drink together!"

"It's a deal!" Prometheus waved his hand in the night, and his figure gradually walked away in the darkness.

Not until the figure disappeared from their sight did the four of them sit down with a sense of loss, looking at the wine and food in front of them, and suddenly felt bored.

"There are still many things to be done about Athens' defense, and the heroes to be recruited also need to be selected in advance. I'm leaving now."

"I also need to make some preparations for the Kingdom of Argos."

Athena and Hera looked at each other, then stood up and left, leaving the remaining two with the opportunity to be alone.

The night was long, the cold wind was howling, and the two figures in front of the fire unconsciously got close to each other and snuggled up to each other.

Hestia curled up in the warm embrace, silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask about the anxiety in her heart.

"Do you think we will win?"

"Yes."

Lorne murmured, gently stroking the goddess's soft long hair with his right hand, as if answering Hestia, and also as if convincing himself.

After getting the answer, the stove goddess couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Well, I believe you!"

"Are you sure?"

"Because no matter what happens, you always have a way!"

The decisive answer was accompanied by a hint of pride and admiration. Loen was slightly stunned. The haze in his heart was swept away, and the same bright smile bloomed on his tense face.

"That's right! I promised, and I will do it."

"My Lorne is truly the best!"

Hestia climbed onto her god's neck with both hands and happily pecked Lorne on the forehead.

Mm, very moist!

The stove goddess, who had tasted all kinds of delicacies, smacked her lips and gave her evaluation in her heart.

Ron raised his hand and touched the wet mark on his forehead. He was stunned and looked at Hestia in surprise who launched a sudden attack.

Under this gaze, Hestia's pretty face turned red like a kitten caught eating dried fish, and she hurriedly got out of Lorne's arms.

"Well, I have something else to do tonight, so I'll leave first."

"etc!"

Ron quickly grabbed Hestia's arm and snorted with narrowed eyes.

"You want to leave after kissing? How can it be that easy?"

"I, I just want to give you a little reward because I see you've been busy all the time..."

Hestia laughed guiltily, trying to justify her actions.

Luo En was so angry that he laughed: "I limited the power of the gods and continued the flame of civilization? After hundreds of years of hard work, this is your reward?"

"I have given you my godhood and my throne. Isn't that enough?"

Hestia, who was completely unaware, looked sad and depressed.

"Nothing, really nothing."

Loen glanced at his rich but stingy Lord God and pondered in amusement.

"Of course I can. Don't you have another main course yet?"

"Main course? What main course?"

Hestia looked at the scattered skewers on the ground and the unfinished barbecue with a confused look on her face.

Before she could react, her long skirt shattered and the pieces of cloth flew around like butterflies.

Hestia was stunned, and quickly crossed her arms across her chest, looking blankly at her servant.

"Why are you tearing my clothes?"

Looking at the little lamb with perfect curves in the firelight, Loen licked his dry lips, the flames in his eyes beating violently.

"Because I'm going to eat!"

Then, the goddess, who was completely unaware of the impending disaster, was pushed to the ground and turned into a delicious delicacy, which was placed on the wolf's table.

It has to be said that among the three virgin goddesses who vowed to remain chaste, Athena made the decision after considering the pros and cons, Artemis did so out of fear of the father god, and only Hestia probably truly enjoyed her single life.

Therefore, this hearth goddess has the most blank and shallow experience with both sexes.

Therefore, Luo En, who usually played a passive role, had to become a guide tonight, and with great patience and perseverance, he helped his Lord God to spread some knowledge and experience.

Compared to teaching by words, learning by example is faster.

Under the guidance of the good teacher Loen, Hestia quickly overcame the difficulties and hardships in the early stage of reclamation, and became more and more devoted to learning, constantly enriching her knowledge base with various novel learning methods.

They even enjoy it so much that they become the hosts.

After searching for a while, Loen looked at Hestia, who was curled up in front of the fire and sleeping soundly, and made a joking summary of the class.

It is deceptive, but not very easy to use, and the battery life is also the lowest.

In short, practice more!

After teasing her for a while, Lorne picked up the sleeping Hestia and lovingly sent her back home to rest.

After settling his goddess, Loen stood in the yard, his eyes still flickering with flames as he looked up at the sky which had not yet completely faded into the night. After thinking for a moment, he stepped into the starlight of the sanctuary with a wicked smile.

Soon, from the dark belly of the God of War Mountain, bursts of suppressed cries of the goddess were heard.
